Referrals

Eligible FUSE participants are those who have had multiple contacts with the McLean County homeless shelters, jail system, and/or emergency departments. 

The McLean County FUSE Program connects with potential clients in a variety of ways. McLean County partnered with the Corporation of Supportive Housing (CSH) and the University of Chicago, through funding from Arnold Ventures, to create a tool designed to match individuals with interactions within the justice system and the homeless system, within the County. FUSE staff utilize this tool to reach out to those in the community idenfitied that might be interested in utilizing FUSE services. The program also welcomes questions and calls from community members or organizations who believes an individual may be appropriate for the FUSE Program.
